With every article from you that I read comes growing awareness of the extent of my ignorance.

Well, it looks to me like the scholars have just started to write about this in force. It was hard to celebrate all the Indians who fought in WW1 after that massacre so I saw a few books that I read on our new e-books shelf. Really, not having access to new books keeps most of us in the dark. I used to "live" at the new books shelves pre-COVID....now I ahve to wait until they are e-books.

Yes, I remember that scene so well. New scholarship from India is looking back at WWI and the lack of press freedom after the massacre that served to overlook role of India in that war.
